Jonathan Ross has said that he will be sad to leave the BBC.

The presenter announced this morning that he will quit the broadcaster after 13 years with the corporation.

Writing on his Twitter page, Ross said: "Thanks for all the kind words about my decision. I feel sad that I can't keep making the shows so many of you love!

"Don't worry, I won't stop tweeting!"

Bookmaker SkyBet has made Mark Lamarr the 5/1 favourite to replace Ross in his Saturday morning radio slot. Graham Norton is at 1/3 to take over his Friday night chatshow.

Five Live movie critic Mark Kermode is also 1/3 to take Ross's position on the BBC's Film 2010.
